Q: How do you select your second shooters?
I have a trusted network of over 15 professional second shooters across New England who are either part-time or full-time wedding photographers themselves. However, I mainly work with the same top three photographers who align with my style, professionalism, and attention to detail. Each second shooter I hire is experienced in wedding photography and trained to capture your day seamlessly alongside me.
Q: How do you store our photos? Do you have backups?
Your photos are my top priority, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. I shoot on dual memory cards, ensuring instant backups during your wedding. Additionally, I carry multiple camera bodies on me during your wedding day ensuring that I have backups in the rase case that one would break. As soon as I return home, your images are transferred to an SSD and an external hard drive that is also backed up to the cloud. Additionally, I do not erase memory cards until your full wedding gallery has been safely delivered.
Q: Are you insured?
Yes! I carry insurance, which many venues require. I’m happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) to your venue or planner upon request.
Q: What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Although no one wants it, rain on your wedding day is good luck! I come prepared with clear umbrellas and a raincoat. I’ll scout covered or indoor locations ahead of time if needed and always work with your planner to ensure we have a beautiful plan B. I’m ready to run in the rain for photos if you are! Some of the most romantic photos come from rainy-day weddings!
Q: When will we receive our gallery?
Your full wedding gallery is contractually required to be delivered within 12 weeks of your wedding day. My average gallery delivery timeline is between 2-4 weeks. I always aim to deliver galleries as efficiently as possible, and faster than anticipated, while still retaining a high quality editing process. You’ll receive a beautiful online gallery where you can download, share, and even order prints. You will also receive a USB drive a few months after your wedding with your photos on it.
Q: Do you travel?
Yes, I love traveling for weddings! There are no travel fees for weddings in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island. For destinations that require an overnight stay or extended travel, additional fees may apply, and I’ll always communicate those clearly up front.
Q: We want to book! How do we finalize the details?
First of all, I AM SO EXCITED! It is such a blessing having the opportunity to work with so many amazing couples. Booking is super simple and all online! Once you receive your customized booking proposal, you’ll select your package, sign the contract, and pay the non-refundable retainer to officially reserve your date. My goal is to make working with me as easy as possible. I’m here to answer any questions along the way, and once you’re booked — let the excitement begin!
